Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

Can I burn photos onto a DVD/CD for non-Mac users?

You can burn a plain CD/DVD by just dragging the photos there; but, that may or may not be playable by everyone. To be sure that the result would be playable in any computer or CD/DVD player, it would be better to use either one of the apps already on your system - such as iPhoto. I don't use that myself - I use other third party software - but take a look at iPhoto help. And, you could make it more interesting by creating a slideshow - also in iPhoto, or iMovie. To give it the final cool touch, bring it into iDVD to give it a polished look if you'd like. You can burn it then from any of the above.
If you happen to have Toast (an excellent burning app), you could use that as well (that is my preferred way to work). In Toast, you have multiple choices: burn a data CD/DVD for Mac only, for Mac & PC, etc, burn a picture CD, video DVD, etc, etc.

Burning photos onto a dvd

I am trying to burn photos onto a DVD and I always get an error that I need to remove the number of photos selected becayse the file is too big. Is there anyway to see how much space I have as I am adding images? thanks

I find the "burn folder" very useful. While in the fFinder, click the file menu:
and select "New Burn Folder." Like Klaus says, it gives you a size as you populate it. I like these because I can have a folder ready to burn when someone asks for a CD or DVD of images, or when I need to make multiple copies.
A burn folder is easy to spot because it gets a different icon (this is from OS 10.6.8):
and you can rename it anyway your like (ex., "2012 Family Reunion")

Error code 0x8002006E when trying to burn photos to a dvd disk. Please help.

Im trying to burn photos to a DVD so my friend can view my pictures on their windows computer. There is only 371 pictures for a total of 1.72G of space. It starts to burn them, and then in the middle of the process I get an error code 0x8002006E and it stops, wasting my disk (I assume because the computer no longer recognizes it afterwards). So, I am now down by two DVD disks. What I did was, I made a folder on my desk-top and placed my photos in it from iPhoto '11. I did this because it said that's how to do it if you want your friend to be able to view them on a windows computer. Then, I closed iPhoto and right click on my folder (on my desk-top with the pics in it) and click burn.

What speed are you burning at and what brand/type of DVD disk are you using? Are you able to burn a CD?
It could be a dirty laser in the optical drive. Get a disk cleaning disk, one with dry brushes - no liquids and use it to clean your optical drive. Burn at the slowest speed available, 2X - 4X. Use quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums

I want to burn photos to a dvd disc. I have done this before. Error message coming up. There is enough room on disc.

I am trying to burn photos from my library to free up space on my mac. I am down to 13 gb. Every time I burn a dvd with a couple of hundred pics it comes up "burn failed" optic drive. I have burned in the past. What is the problem?

Try freeing up space BEFORE you trying burning a DVD.

HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc. I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive. However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive. How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

What kind of DVD disk do you want to create? A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set. They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
For a data disk:
1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu. Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
For a video DVD disk:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Upgraded to Ilife 06 now can't burn photos to a DVD

When I try to burn a DVD in Iphoto I now get an error message. I have room on the DVD to burn it and it is a new DVD-R disk. This is the error message.
(The burn to the MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-825 DRIVE failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.)
Has anyone had this problem?????
Thanks,

I had the same problem attempting to burn 4.4GB (3800) of photographs onto a DVD using 10.4.5, iPhoto 6 and a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D.
Same error.
I had the same error with an external LaCie D2 burner as well.
However when I tried burning 800MB of photos it worked fine.
I then tried 3.8GB (3100) of photos and it worked fine.
How many photos (number and size) were you trying to burn.
What happens if you try and burn under 4GB of photos to a DVD?

Installed photoshop elements10 on my new iMac-why won't it "accept" my PC burned photo cds and dvds

I have been trying unsuccessfully to upload my hundreds of previously burned photos (some CD'S AND SOME DVD'S) on my PC using Nero. They are mostly jpegs, some tiffs. They do upload to iPhoto on my new Mac but I bought this program in hopes of using it for editing my photos.

Burn photos to a dvd

I need to burn photos from iPhoto to a dvd-r but the dvd icon does not appear in the desk area. what to do?

Even though this may sound like a pain in the rear, I have found that purchasing Roxio's Toast is the best and most fool proof way of burning your Photo's to DVD.

There are of course other ways to do it but many are very confusing and can be that same pain I mentioned earlier. If you have a ton of pictures like I do it is well worth your time and effort.
Good Luck

Can't burn photo's to dvd

On my MBP. iLife 11.
I am trying to burn photos to dvd and getting the error message " the disc can't be burned because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media."
Anyone know what this means?

Joe,
Thank you for the post and the link. I was having a heck of a time finding any posts related to my problem. I blew compressed air into the cd/dvd slot. Had to do it a couple of times, but then i was able to burn a couple dvd's. Had to blow air again and was able to burn one more dvd. Tried again, but still unable to burn the last dvd. I ran hardware test but it says everything is fine.
My new error messages is "the disc can't be burned because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022)" ANY ideas on what them might mean?

Using macbook pro OS X ver 10.7.5 Trying to burn photos to a dvd but disk utility wont allow me to select photos to burn

I have a macbook pro using OS 10.7.5
The Disk Utility asks to select files to be burned. I have inserted a DVD however I cannot select the files as they are dimmed as is the "burn" button.
How can I easily burn photo files to a dvd?

Create a new folder on your Desktop. Drag the photos you want to burn to the DVD into this folder. Open Disk Utility and select New > Disk Image From Folder from DU's File menu. Locate the folder in the File selector then click on the Image button. Enter a Save name and location in the File selector. From the Image Format dropdown menu select the desired format. If you want the DVD compatible on Macs and PCs then select the Hybrid option. Set the Encryption option to None.
This will create a disc image in the location selected. The disc image may then be burned to a DVD.
Or, from the Finder's File menu select New Burn Folder. Drag the photos you want to burn into the Burn Folder created. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the Burn Folder and select Burn "Burn Folder" to disc from the context menu. Follow onscreen prompts.

Burning photos compatible with DVD player

I want to create a DVD (or CD) with titled photos, i.e. an album. How do I export photos to a disc that can be read on a standard DVD player so they can been shown on a TV set? My IPhoto instructions sas the burning feature in iPhoto isn't compatible with Windows, which may be why such a disc won't work on my DVD player. I've tried moving an entire album as pdf but the titles with the photos disappear. Also, does DVD vs. CD make any difference? Thanks for any help!

James,
In order to have a true manual slideshow in iDVD, you can't select any music to be played with the slides. If you have assigned music to the slideshow, drag it out of the box beside the Slideshow Volume until it goes "poof." Then when you click on the Slide Duration menu (lower left) the "Manual" option will be active, and you can select it. Also click the Settings gear and select the option to "Display navigation arrows." When you Play the slideshow in iDVD, you have to use the little remote control (right arrow) to advance the slides; clicking the onscreen navigation arrow won't do it.
If you wanted music, you can have the navigation arrows displayed and set the duration to 10 seconds (the longest choice). Or set a long playlist as the music and set duration to "Fit to Audio". However, this is problematic, because when the viewer advances the slide the music skips forward to match. It might be okay if the viewer only advanced one or two, but for a true manual show the interrupted music would be a major distraction.
Regards.

Burn photos to a dvd on iPhoto

I used to be able to burn dvds on Iphoto but since I got maverick I dont know how to do it. Can someone help

What kind of DVD? Do you want to create a video DVD to play a slideshow in a video player, or do you want a data DVD to store the photos?
iPhoto does not support DVD burning. You can burn data DVDs using the Finder and for video DVDs you need additional software, see this post:

Burning photos on to DVD from Photoshop Elements 12

I have successfully copied photos from PSE12 on to a DVD. I want to use it for a slideshow presentation. Unfortunately all the vertical pictures come out horizontally on the DVD! I don't have the option of rotating when I click on properties. The very same photos come out vertically in my PSE program so I'm confused why they don't show up the same way on the DVD. This does not make for a very good slideshow!

Hi lupattyann
Element Organizer handles rotations in two ways: First rotate the image only and secondly apart from rotation of image write this info in EXIF metadata of file. This choice can be made through Edit->Preferences->File-> Rotate JPEGs/TIFFs using orientation metadata.
Lets say you imported a JPEG image with this setting turned ON. Now if you rotate image, you will see this image rotated in Element Organizer but this rotation won’t be reflected outside Element Organizer. This is because this rotation is written in its EXIF properties (please check it).
Now import another image and turn OFF this option, rotate in Element Organizer. This rotation will be reflected outside Element Organizer (eg in explorer also).
So the issue faced by you is not Disc related issue but can be manifested in internal HDD case as well. As a workaround (for future references) if you want to see the rotation outside Element Organizer, uncheck both options.
Please let me know if you need more info around it.

I am trying to burn photos onto a dvd and cd but it keeps saying disc burn error. what do i do? i have already went through 5 cps and 1 dvd.

I have been trying to get these pictures off of my computer so i want to burn them but everytime i try it says disc error. i have tried several different cds. it will say finishing burn but then eject it and says burn disc error.... please help

How are you burning the photos to the disc? Via the Share ➙ Burn menu or buy exporting the photos to a folder on the Desktop and then burning that folder to disc?
The former method creates a mini library on the disk that can only be read and use by a Mac with iPhoto. The latter method saves just the photos to disc which can be used by any computer.
What system and iPhoto version are you using? How much free space do you have on your MacBook Pro?
If you're using the Share ➙ Burn method can you burn a disc from the Finder?
Describe in detail what you're trying so we have a better understanding and can better offer a solution.
